What is IQ?

At its core, IQ is a measure of your ability to reason. What makes IQ so unique is that it basis itself off of all the previous scores achieved on that particular assessment (with the aim to make 100 the most common score) and variations of an IQ test are used to determine:

• A prediction of how well a child will perform academically
• The effectiveness of ADHD treatments
• How effective a potential employee will be

Despite being so widely used, IQ has become a controversial subject with one of the main criticisms being that it isn’t a good predictor of success.

We agree.

It’s not how smart you are, it’s what you do with it that matters.

The problem that we’ve found is that smart people tend to be too smart for their own good. For smart people, life can feel like a child in a sweet shop, with unlimited choices for what they can accomplish with their lives.

Our assessment is designed to cut down on those choices and help you discover how to leverage what you are already good at so that you can do something great.

How is IQ worked out?

Once you’ve completed the IQ Test your results are compared with data from other participants in your age group who have already taken the test and then a “normalized” score is calculated.

“Normalizing” means your final score is relative to the score most commonly achieved by your age group. For you Verbal archetypes, this means that anything higher than 100 means you got more correct answers than the average.

Now to explain it numerically, if most people answered 20/36 correctly then anyone who answers 26 correctly will have an IQ of 100. Anyone who answers more than 26 correctly will have an IQ higher than 100 and anyone that answers fewer than 26 correctly will have an IQ lower than 100.

BREAKDOWN ANALYSIS

Verbal Intelligence

Key Strengths

Reading,
Writing, Speaking

Verbal Intelligence is the ability to use language to solve problems and analyse information.

How is Verbal Intelligence used in daily life?

You use your verbal intelligence whenever you engage the language centres of your brain. This can be used for simple tasks like reading signs, to more complex tasks like giving an oral synopsis of a written report.

Those with a high level of Verbal Intelligence are typically found in roles that require the ability to communicate complex ideas, to understand and parse a lot of written material, and to express themselves using language.

YOUR ARCHETYPE BREAKDOWN

Non-Verbal Intelligence

Key Strengths

Pattern Recognition,
Understanding Diagrams, Outcome planning

Sometimes called “abstract reasoning,” your Non-Verbal Intelligence is engaged when solving problems presented as a diagram or pictorially

How is Non-Verbal Intelligence used in daily life?

Your Non-Verbal Intelligence is activated when presented with non-language based visual information (such as a map, or furniture building instructions). It is also used when trying to understand abstract concepts that are subjective such as morality or ethics.

With high Non-Verbal Intelligence, you’re best suited to solving problems that involve using logic or “common sense”. Those that score highly in Non-Verbal Intelligence are also suited to explaining diagrams and integrating those systems into the physical world.

YOUR ARCHETYPE BREAKDOWN

Numerical Intelligence

Key Strengths

Maths, Statistical Analysis,
Raw-data Processing

Numerical Intelligence is the ability to use numbers and data to solve problems and analyse information.

How is Numerical Intelligence used in daily life?

Unsurprisingly, your Numerical Intelligence is activated whenever you have to deal with and make decisions based on numbers. One of the most obvious examples of this is when making a purchasing decision, you use your Numerical Intelligence to make a value judgement of a new trinket.

A high Numerical Intelligence is essential for those that want to solve scientific problems or any tasks that require the use of numerical data to prove a solution.

YOUR ARCHETYPE BREAKDOWN

Spatial Intelligence

Key Strengths

Navigation, Design,
Construction

Spatial Intelligence is the ability to understand physical and mechanical systems and mentally visualise complex 3D constructs.

How is Spatial Intelligence used in daily life?

When you try and imagine how something will look (such as new clothes or furniture) you’re activating your Spatial Intelligence. Similarly, it’s activated when you’re trying to navigate spaces, remember where you are, and know where you’re going.

Those with high levels of Spatial Intelligence are likely to find themselves solving problems that require them to mentally build models and then create those models in the physical world, such as an Architect or Chemist.

Who are IPBRA?

IBPRA was created as a way to ensure that you get what you pay for when it comes to personal assessments. The process of certifying a test is simple, all tests certified by IBPRA must have:

• A statistically significant sample size
• Results that evolve as more data is analyse
• Questions with a clear academic and psychological backing

Founded in 2021 by Louis Lawrence and supported by Nate Chai, IBPRA was built from the frustration today’s world of capitalist-money-grabbing self-worth tests that are designed primarily to make the users feel good about themselves.
